This is not an official notice, but the University of Georgia may be
interested in disposing of a used 3-cpu LMI Lambda Lisp Machine
(only 2 of the CPUs work right now), including a 550-MB disk and 4
terminals (3 of them fully functional) and all manuals and numerous
tapes.
Is there any market for such things? How much would it be worth?
A few months ago, I bought two LMI 2x2s for $5.00 each. You may be able
to get a few hundred for yours as scrap. The Lambdas may have been fine
machines in their day, but with no support and lots of things to go
wrong, it would take a real fanatic to want to try to keep one running.
(And I am sure all the fanatics already have their garages full of
them.) Me, I'm using one as a liquor cabinet and wondering why I lugged
the other one home.

How much would it be worth? If electricity were not so expensive (the 3-cpu LMI Lambda takes 220 volts at a few AMPS) this would be a nice machine to have at home. -gjc
